The house was clean when we arrived. It accommodates quite a few people and since the most we ever had was 6 it was plenty big for us. Kitchen, dining area, and LR are all open. Big DR table, nice seating areas outdoors, a relaxing front porch, and a hot tub. Convenient to Pinecrest Lake and quite close to Twain Harte Lake. We enjoyed the amenities of the house and convenience to the lakes.

We spent a week here and it was so enjoyable! There were 10 of us- 4 kids ages 2, 7, 7, and 9 and they all had a blast! There were plenty of games and toys for the kiddos. We went when the weather was 102° so even though the house still stayed warm, the AC was a must and such a relief to have! We all had plenty of space and never felt on top of each other. The kitchen is well stocked. We did run out of paper towels, toilet paper, and garbage bags so I’d bring some if staying for a week- the local store was kind of limited and expensive. There were a few minor things that should definitely be fixed (broken stair rails, loose faucets, wobbly ceiling fan), but definitely won’t keep us from renting this home again next summer! Easily able to walk to downtown Twain Harte for dinner and mini golf which was a major plus! Short drive to the lake and we were able to get in every day despite not having our dates chosen in the lottery. Wish we were still there! Can’t wait for next summer!

We love this property & have been staying here since it first went on the market.. sometimes 2-3 times during the year. Thanksgiving many times. We lived in the Bay Area until 2 years ago & now live in Southern California & will continue to come up..

Wonderful home shaded under beautiful California Redwoods and Cedars. Walking distance to a quaint little town highlighted by Eproson Park and its surroundings, 9 hole golf course, 18 hole Peewee golf course, skate park, bocce ball and playground with grills to BBQ. Saturday nights offer up free music as well! Tennis and Pickle ball courts to play. Having Twain Harte Lake access was great. Those children able to pass the swim test got to swim to the rock and test their abilities then dive off the boards as a reward! Caught tadpoles in our nets and screamed off the slides, ate at the Snack Shack, then fished off the damn for trout in the evening. And if that's not enough for you, Pinecrest Lake boat rentals and outdoor movie theater, Columbia gold panning, Calaveras Big Trees, Moaning Caverns and wine tasting in the towns of Murphy and Arnold. After a long day, hot tub under the Dogwood trees and movie night upstairs. Only wish I had rented earlier in June to see those Dogwoods bloom and beat the summer Yosemite rush just 60 miles away.

We had a great stay and it is walkable to restaurants, coffee, and the park.

We had a great weekend in Twain Harte! The location of the house, and the amenities that it has are top-notch. The ownership is responsive and accessible, we just wish it was a little warmer when we went to the lake! All in all a great time! Strongly recommend if you’re going to visit tween heart, this is the spot for families to gather!

We've stayed at a number of cabins in Twaine Harte and this has been our favorite. Thanks for another great trip, we'll see you next year.

We had a blast staying at this cabin. The property was well stocked, clean and spacious for our group of 9. Back yard offered space for hanging out and enjoying the fire pit. Side yard served as a good sled run when it snowed. The owners were very communicative and even arranged for a snow plow when we got an unexpected amount of snow. Location is less than two minutes from a grocery store. The cute town also offered a wide range of activities - Hiking, playground, mini golf, and just 30 minutes to Leland snow play. Lots of cute eating options if you’re not up for cooking. Can’t wait to go back in the summer to enjoy the lake and frisbee golf course!

We stayed in Twain Harte for a snow weekend at Dodge Ridge, and Jackie and Allen’s place was the perfect home away from home. It was fully stocked with pots, and pans, herbs, spices, extra towels, and sheets, extra blankets, an awesome living room and dining room that fit our entire party! Everything was clean and just as described. It was an easy walk to the village and 25 minutes to skiing. Wonderful, cozy stay. Thank you for opening your home!

This is a really nice cabin with a great kitchen, large outdoor area and lots of amenities. It’s a short drive or walk to the shops in Twain Harte. Highly recommend.

The cabin is beautiful, cozy, spacious and well located! We really enjoyed being by the fire and watching movies in the spacious upstairs room. The kitchen was well stocked and all up to date. We highly recommend staying here!

The location is great so that we could walk to town easily and the kids could play at the park. The kitchen table easily accommodated all of us, the kitchen is well stocked with dishes, and lastly the bonus room was perfect for all of us to hang out and play games and watch tv together. loved it! Thanks Jackie and Allan for sharing your home with us.

The cabin was better than we imagined. Well equipped and comfortable for three families with kids ages 2-9. Very clean, we had a wonderful time!

We were so delighted to see the beautiful holiday decorations when we entered the Lone Star Lodge. The home was absolutely clean and ready for us to enjoy! And enjoy we did! We used the barbeque, the fire pit and the hot tub during our stay. Every little thing we needed was there! We look forward to visiting again in the summer!

Our family enjoyed our stay at the Lonestar home in Twainharte. The house was spacious, well appointed and super comfortable for our family. Communication with the owner was easy and helpful , making checking and checkout a breeze. Would definitely like to return in the summer.

We arrived and enjoyed the fire pit in the backyard. We didn’t have the chance to use the Jacuzzi (we all forgot our swimsuits lol). The jacuzzi looked relaxing! We had all the necessities to cook meals. Fully stocked kitchen. Although, I do recommend bringing extra paper towels and TP for your group. There was no snow this year at Xmas but we were able to make the short drive up the hill to Leland Snow Play and Long Barn Lodge for ice skating. Overall, we all had a great time and so did our dog. Thank you for having us! We will be back!!!

We stayed at the Lone Star for 5 days and enjoyed the beautiful cabin and accommodations. 11 people (2 grandparents, their 2 adult children and spouses and 5 grandchildren ages 5-18). The house is very spacious and the dining table seats the group comfortably. The kitchen has everything you need, we cooked every meal together in the house. Jackie was very sweet and sent me pictures of the instantpot and crockpot so I knew the size and didn't have to bring mine from home. The owners were very easy to contact and even had their spa person come out during our trip to reset the tub - which was in sleeper mode from a power outage during a storm before our visit. We drove up to Little Sweeden to go sledding (off hwy 108 before Cold Springs), the kids had a lovely time. We also purchased fire wood and kindling at the TH store for the fire pit at the house. We made smores and had a nice visit around the fire. Their Christmas tree was beautiful and a lovely touch for traveling around the holidays. This cabin has many great features and plenty of seating for your group. I highly recommend the Lone Star and hope to visit again soon. Thank you Jackie & Alan :-)

We stayed at the Lone Star Lodge for a family reunion and it was simply perfect. Extra blankets, ample serving ware, many options for meal preparation, spaces for sub-groups to break away and puzzles! We pulled in on a Thursday and never left the property all weekend. We had everything we needed. Staying there was an absolute joy.

Everything about our stay was perfect! The house was just as listed and a perfect cabin getaway for a winter retreat. We had 10 people and a dog who all slept comfortably. Hot tub and fire pit completed our fantastic experience. Jackie was our main point of contact and very responsive by text ; a storm came through, which she gave us warning on well before the start of our trip. The entire town briefly (2-3 hrs) lost power, but the cabin stayed warm, was well stocked with electric lanterns, and Jackie gave us frequent updates from PG&E (despite the day being her anniversary!). Jackie also went above and beyond as my partner (now fiancé) planned a surprise proposal and she offered many plans (and backup plans) of scenic spots in the area to propose. Needless to say, this was an excellent and memorable trip. Would absolutely rent again.

Our family enjoyed a wonderful stay at Lone Star Cabin! Jackie and Alan were gracious and available hosts. The cabin was outstanding! Thank you!

We enjoyed ourselves- ample room for all of us to feel very comfortable. Beautiful home!

We love Lone Star Lodge. When we want to spend time in the Stanislaus Forest, it's our favorite home base. All the great recreational activities up Hwy 108 are easy to get to, but we don't have to rough it in a cabin or camp ground -- we can come back, shower up, and walk to a nice dinner in town. Also, Jackie is super helpful and responsive to questions!

Large home with nice sitting area outside with swings and tiki torches. House came stocked with everything you need for a fun family trip. We enjoyed going to the private Twain Harte lake. Upstairs got a bit hot at times, but overall a great stay!

Lone Star Lodge was all that it promised to be. It was spacious and clean, and it met the needs of my family. Jackie was available for questions and she was an ideal host.

We had two families sharing this very cute cabin. It had all the amenities that we needed and a nice big kitchen! We only needed to pack the stroller for the baby…everything else was provided. The space was great…lots of room for everyone with a nice flat backyard where the kids loved to play. Overall, a very good experience. We hope to come back next year.

Lone Star cabin is perfect for our whole family! Every thing you need for your vacation is there, all you need is your clothing and your family! :-)

We have been staying at this property ever since it was listed on VRBO, 10-12 years! We have at times stayed summer, September, thanksgiving. Jackie & Alan are the best! They are always available to answer any questions or to actually come to the house.

Everything was great just which the beds were more comfortable. The master queen bed is a futon mattress. One of our couples didn’t stay the second night because the bed was so uncomfortable. Really all the mattresses need to be replaced. Everyone thought the place was really cool just a few things need to be repaired.

Per the usual, this place is awesome. Great size for multiple families. CLEAN. Jackie is so helpful with any questions. Would recommend 100%!

Great spot, outside setup perfect for family gatherings, inside awesome for all activities… from games to jam sessions to hanging out watching tv. You don’t need to bring a thing, they’ve thought of everything.

Lone Star lodge literally has it all. Large kitchen and communal areas, ample beds and bedding, a hot tub, fire pit, swings, games and more. Plenty of spices, dishes, and pots in the kitchen to fire up shared homemade meals made for a perfect Memorial Day getaway with two other families with kids. You will meet friendly neighborhood deer, and moles. Adults and kids were very happy. Jackie checked in via text to make sure everything was perfect. Will be booking this cabin for future trips.

Communication was clear, the place was cozy and homey, overall I really enjoyed my stay and so did my whole party.
